The cabin is extremely private yet a short walk to the Greenbrier River. A perfect place to stay for wanting to hike or bike in the area. Our third time and we’ll return again.

The cabin was in a quiet area, isolated in the trees from the houses around. It was clean, the hosts were very thoughtful and checked on us via message during our stay. They were very kind and made sure to include a binder full of attractions, stores, and restaurants. We were located about 10 minutes from Marlinton, and there were many attractions within a 30-45 minute radius. Great cabin in a beautiful location!

Wonderfully Quiet

The listing was exactly as described. Additionally, there is no photo of one wall, which contains a sofa, a small chest-of-drawers, and an end table. There is a small closet with room to hang a few things. And there was a patio umbrella (not pictured). Don't expect to use the internet (pack your maps) or be able to watch the water from the cabin. Do expect to be comfortable and rested and in a great location to explore the area. Water access (wading/kayak put in) is available, downhill at end of the driveway. Greenbriar bike trail is on the opposite side of water, so a short drive is needed to access. Marlington had all the necessities we required. Grill is charcoal (charcoal provided). Simple, affordable, friendly, and cozy way to experience Pocahontas County.

Relaxing Stay in a beautiful setting

We could not have found a better place to explore this beautiful part of the world. It was close to the Greenbriar River Trail and we spent a lot of our time on this bike trail. The parking entry point is really close at Buckeye. The cabin was clean and we felt very comfortable there. Carter and Maureen were great hosts! They both went beyond the call of duty to help us with our car trouble. We are very grateful for their kindness. We recommend Watoga State Park where we saw a black bear loping through the woods. And also Beartown State park, so unusually cool! We also rode up to Cass Scenic Railroad State Park and spent time at the Company Store. There is just so much to see and explore in this area, by bicycle or by car. And you have a lovely cabin to come home to at night.

Greenbrier retreat

Perfect location to enjoy some mountain and stream beauty in West Virginia. Had a great time trying out some fly fishing with my son. Hosts were awesome. Wifi and cellphone are a little sketchy but that might not be a bad thing if you're looking to get away.

Nice Secluded Cabin

Nice cabin. Located walking distance to river. Close to sights in/around Marlinton, including Cranberry Glades, Falls of Hills Creek and Highland Scenic Highway. Cass Scenic Railroad is about 35-40 minutes north. Would recommend for those who want to get away for a few days.

Great biking and birding

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was so quiet and relaxing backed up to the woods. We are glad we stayed a couple of days longer than originally anticipated. The amenities were perfect and Carter and Maureen were very considerate hosts. The natural sites of Pocahontas County are breathtaking. The biking and birding along the Greenbriar River Trail was fantastic. We have many happy memories from our stay.

Wonderful Getaway

The cottage was absolutely wonderful! It was very clean, and Carter checked in on us via phone to ensure we were able to find the property with ease and anything else we needed. We loved the binder that Carter had made that gave extra information about everything in the area. The cottage was in the perfect location! We were able to get to Cranberry Glades, Droop Mountain, Watoga State Park, and Beartown with ease. We are already discussing our next trip to the area! I would highly recommend this property to anyone.
